What Is an ETF in Malaysia?

The short answer

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a fund whose units trade on an exchange like a share. A single purchase can give exposure to a basket of assets, while the market price moves during the trading day.

What to check

• What index or asset does the fund track?
• What are the total costs, trading spread and board lot?
• Is it Bursa-listed or listed overseas?
• How often are holdings, NAV and distributions disclosed?
• Does the structure match your risk tolerance and time horizon?
